Buy what specifically? There are links to the parts in the thread. If you are looking for finished cables, there aren't many/any hence the DIY nature of this thread.

FIIO has a good selection of oddball cables but no micro b to b I'd like to see if a usb printer would work straight from my phone, I know it has the drivers to work over wifi with most printers would be a interesting experiment. Lets see if i have my otg cable handy.

I would buy instantly such nice cables. But I have two left hands to build my own cable. I looking since ages for a USB mirco-B OTG to USB B-type cable for my Android device, I only found a expensive (really good looking too) from Forza AudioWorks.

1. Thanks for this FraGGleR!

​
I used your tutorial to make my first OTG cable. It was my first time using epoxy putty as well; had no idea it'd be so sticky.
 

 

 
It ended up being a little too long, so it's gonna bother me enough into making another one soon.

Can you explain your pinout? Was their any difference since you went 5 pin to 5 pin? Would I use the same connections for a Micro to Mini OTG? Thanks!

Anyone know if there is a pre-made OTG usb with a similar short cable length with male micro usb to male type B usb? links or referrals to customs cable companies would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys!
 
Thanks for this good tutorial

on the Walkman side, no problem:
 

 
D+, D- and ground
 
but what about the micro USB side?

I am always an advocate of DIY when there is opportunity.  Happy to help if you give it a shot and run into questions.

 
 
Thanks a lot!

This topic is old, but talks about the OTG cable, so...
 
Guy... i was think... if the Micro USB B to Micro USB B ( otg ) from moon audio ( copper and silver ) have some difference on the quality of the sound that i'll be pass to the Chord mojo?
Because... i have a "normal" micro usb b to micro usb b ( otg ) that cost me about $10, so... on the moon audio have the copper over ( $85 ) and the silver over ( $110 ),
so i really would like to know if some one think or have made some test to determinate if have any difference or not ( on this connection between the Phone ) to the Chord Mojo with this kind of cables.
 
( i already i'll use the silver dragon cable shure v1 on my se846 ), but the ( OTG silver or copper ) i dont know if wort and i'll have much difference or better results then the default ( normal over $10 ).
 
Im not judge by the price, if have a great difference so, its justified!
 
Wait some helps guys!

This is a very tricky question you are asking Agzerx!
 
First of all, i do believe quality cables are worth it. I do hear a difference using silver / pure silver cable with my various IEM or full size cans.
However, we are referring to an analog signal...
 
Now regarding USB cables, it is digital signal: 0 or 1 to simplify.
 
So to rephrase your question: How can silver cables alter or enhance a 0 or a 1 ????

I got, so... as dont have any difference using pure silver from Phone do DAC, right?

I don't see how such a short run would make any difference.

is that ok if I use both side is micro usb and both active OTG function? ( solder both side pin 4th and 5th)

I do not think it works that way. Only 1 side should be setup with OTG function. The other should be setup as a normal USB style connection. Yes, they can both be MicroUSB as that is how I've done it when I was using an external DAC.
